When i am a child i used to believe to the plane, go the space because when i am go in a plane with my family, i see the plane is more heighr then the cloud. So i was say to my mom and she reponde no you are just in a sky. But i am believe to i am right and i dont see the sky because it's the night. And when i am more age's i am understand to is not the space but the sky and i think i am very stupid. And since then i have very difficult understanding that we were only in the sky .

When I was a little girl, I used to believe the cars moved for ward with the smoke coming out of the car. But one day, I saw a car without smoke but wich moved for ward. So, my parents explained to me the cars moved for ward with a motor. After that, I was a little disappointed because it's not very funny...

Some signs at interstate highway interchanges list some of the large cities in the direction that you'll end up going by taking that on-ramp. In my home city, one such sign listed a city called Wheeling (in West Virginia). I didn't know this was a place, and thought it was some sort of instruction for the use of the interstate (that "wheeling" meant you could go fast without stopping, or something like that).

While riding in the car, I saw those signs by parking spaces which said that cars parked there that shouldn't be would be towed away and "impounded". I didn't know what this word meant, and thought it meant the car would be put in a big machine that would crush it (and you would then have to pay for the cost for the car to be destroyed).

If the light on a plane flashed and you saw it from the ground, that was because the pilot and/or co-pilot saw you. The polite things to do was wave back.

I thought the “Slippery When Wet” traffic sign was a car that had grown long bendy legs.

When I was a child, I used to believe that traffic lights were operated by a person underground who saw everything and changed their colour with a button, so he or she decided when the cars could pass and when not.

I used to believe that car exhaust pipes were what propelled cars, instead of the engines.

I once thought that the octane numbers on gas tanks were the years they had been manufactured in (ex: 87 octane was actually '87 octane), and that 93 octane (called Ultra 93) had just come out that year.
